Dear Maintainer,

When converting a file from flac or ogg (which I tried) to mp3 XCFA
rewrites ID3 tags in characters that look Chinese to me (Please forgive
my mistake if I am wrong, not a specialist). In particular it rewrites
the titles and artists tags rendering the file impossible to sort in a
music player with western locale.
I checked the ID3 with Kid3 and also in the Straberry and Elisa music
players.

Gnome Soundconverter program doesn't exhibit the same problem on the
same files.
